RTÉ Rugby podcast: Jordie Barrett, balancing quality & inequality, plus Ireland's big win

admin admin | 04-18 00:16

Neil Treacy is joined by former Munster wing Johne Murphy to recap a busy week across the four provinces.

We look at Leinster's impressive Investec Champions Cup win over La Rochelle, as Leo Cullen's side booked a semi-final date with Northampton Saints at Croke Park.

We also discuss their big moves in the market, with Jordie Barrett and Tyler Bleyendaal arriving next season, while also examining whether they're getting too big an advantage from the central contract system.

And we also look ahead to Munster, Connacht and Ulster's return to BKT United Rugby Championship action this weekend, as we head into the final five games of the regular season.

Later, Neil is joined by Alison Miller to recap Ireland's Guinness Six Nations win against Wales, while we look ahead to Saturday's Twickenham trip.
